Chemform Green Policy

At Chemform we care about the environment, our community and your safety, by providing environmentally responsible products.

We recognise that taking care of the Earth has become everyone's responsibility and as such is a high priority for our business. To achieve this goal, we have formulated our "CHEMFORM GREEN" range of products. The CHEMFORM GREEN range of products provides performance, quality and safety, as well as environmental sustainability.

The definition of a "green" product can be very confusing. Consumers are confronted with all manner of conflicting claims that can be very difficult to understand. To assist those involved in the decision making process, the products in the CHEMFORM GREEN range must meet the following strict criteria:

1. Products containing detergents must use only those classified as readily biodegradable.
2. Whenever possible, products made from plant based renewable resources are selected.
3. Our CHEMFORM GREEN range contains no phosphates, oil-based hydrocarbons, chlorine, chlorinated hydrocarbons, carcinogens, alkyl phenol ethoxylates or heavy metals.
4. Our CHEMFORM GREEN range is safe to use. The products are classified as non-hazardous and non-dangerous.
5. Industrial degreasers are quick-breaking according to our stringent definition.
6. Waste is minimised as we believe that the biggest environmental burden on the Earth is waste. All packaging used in the CHEMFORM GREEN range is recyclable and can be returned to Chemform for processing.

We understand that environmental responsibility is broader than our product range. We are committed to:

1. Continuous development of the CHEMFORM GREEN range.
2. Offsetting our carbon emissions by the purchase of government approved carbon offset credits for all our fuel and energy use. This extends from receipt of materials at our facility, through to manufacture and delivery.
3. Maintaining compliance with all applicable environmental legislation.
4. Review our environmental impact across all aspects of our manufacturing, warehousing, sales and transport.
5. Implementation of an emissions management plan to reduce our carbon emissions.

We are committed to the principals stated in this Green Policy which have been incorporated into our ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System objectives. Our management team is responsible for ensuring this policy is adhered to by all our employees.

At Chemform, GREEN is part of our culture, and our integrity is your guarantee.

If you care about the environment, choose CHEMFORM GREEN.
